4d6, re-roll 1s, drop the lowest.
The standard ability generation method for 4E is point buy now. For those of you who like to roll for ability score but prefer "heroic" score I give you my groups concoction. We've been using this since the beginning and has served us well.

Please, respond.

My group also went with the 4d6 - drop the lowest method. No re-rolling of ones though. Then again, we also roll 3 sets of scores and choose the best set (no mixing and matching, each set of scores stays together). I think the guys were pleased with their results (though one guy did have me roll a set of scores for him which turned out to be his best option).
